advances

in brick work

i decided that brick by brick was looking to irregular, the original masons would have been ashamed
so i tried a new tack
a whole row of bricks at once
with little notches cut to separate them
still with a spacer card between layers

then a coat of white
the dry brushed red

it solves the regularity problem and looks more "brick like"

Perhaps some historical background to the Statenjacht.
The Dutch word 'jacht' was first used in the early 17th century to describe a small, fast luxury sailing vessel. Only very rich merchants could afford one, of course. The word was adopted into English, spelled 'yacht'.
Now for the Staten. In 1588, the seven northern provinces of the low countries united to make up a Republic. These provinces were all originally counties and dukedoms, but had long since been governed by councils of powerful merchants and bankers. These councils were called 'states'. Representatives made up the 'General States' of the republic, which met in Amsterdam. Very soon two of them (Utrecht and Friesland) had their own 'Statenjacht' to convey their representatives to Amsterdam.
The original Utrecht dates from 1746; a replica based on the original drawings was launched in 2003. Go to Google images for lots of pictures.

thanks for the history

it always makes models much more interesting

three blocks of bricks
dry brushed with red
then glued into place
then we do the other side
the mantle is in three pieces to try to capture its molded shape

finally we can light a fire

in our fireplace

the next step is the hood
which required some wild guessing
and a few little patches

i'll leave the chimney till i put the deck on

moving on

to the next section

i had to cut a new template for marking the position of the deck beams
this one is wider than the ones in the bow... so i had to use a heavier card for the laminations
cut it to fit and checked that it will continue the line of the deck
and then checked again with the template to make sure i understand where to position it
it has 2 cut outs for beams that frame the next hatch

decisions

decisions, i study the plans and scratch my head

first i cut the beam from the plan

then i laminate it and cut it to size

try the fit against the beam in front of it

glue it in, making sure that it matches the slope of the deck
